**Meet Joe Barnard: A Rocket Scientist with a Passion for Self-Landing Rockets**

Hey guys, this is Austin. And this is something a little different. Today's story actually takes place on the other side of the country.

Meet Joe Barnard, a rocket scientist who has inspired by a certain aerospace company has started to develop his own self-landing rocket, just on a slightly different scale and with no formal education. I mean, this guy designs and builds pretty much everything all by himself and is able to keep the lights on by documenting the entire process and selling some of the components.

**The Challenge Ahead**

However, right about now, he's preparing for his biggest challenge yet. This has been an absolutely massive project, and it wouldn't have been possible without our friends at LastPass who sponsored this portion of the video.

With LastPass, you don't need to write, remember, or reset your passwords as it will keep all of them safe and secure inside the LastPass vault. And it will even generate brand new super-secure passwords for you.

**The Power of LastPass**

LastPass even works on mobile sites and apps on iOS and Android, which means that with a single tap, you can not only login with your username but also your saved passwords. Unlike the old days where I used a handful of passwords for every website I went to, instead LastPass is great for keeping safe and very secure passwords that are unique to each and every website as well as app I use.

This is all available for free, however, there's also LastPass Premium available for $2 a month. And this is what I personally use, especially because they have some very advanced multi-factor authentication options. So you know that all of your logins are as safe as possible.

**The BPS Echo Test Vehicle**

Best of all, LastPass works across pretty much all of your devices, including phones, tablets, computers, you name it. Now I legitimately have been using LastPass every day for a very long time.

So if your password game is in need of an upgrade, definitely be sure to go check out LastPass at the link in the description, and again huge, huge thank you to LastPass for making this video possible and sponsoring this madness.

**The BPS Echo Test Vehicle: A Behind-the-Scenes Look**

Okay, and it's time. Here we go. The BPS Echo test vehicle. This is actually the computer I use to land the rockets. (computer beeps) (rocket fires)

This is like extremely basic stuff. We're only firing a single core vehicle, which means we only need four clamps. These four here. You know, this is how they really do it in real aerospace companies. They have just one desk, and there's like just trash all over it.

**The Launch**

Okay, so the whole thing is put together, the motor's inserted. (computer beeps) (clamps creak) Hey, bingo! And then if we release the clamps. This is what happened at launch. It's good to go. And that's how they work. (computer beeps) (switch clicks) (rocket fires) And done.

Well, done with that part. Now there are like several hundred other more parts. Before I got any footage of anything working, the general consensus was, no, you can't do this. I put this by the door so that if there's a fire, it's gonna be a lot harder to get out.

I studied at the Berklee College of Music. The joke is that at Berklee they teach you how to say...

at Berklee they teach youhow to say, "Do you want fries with that?"I have been making YouTube videos of likecover songs and original songsin my parents basement for years.(indie rock music)♪ And when she said no ♪♪ I said no, no, no ♪♪ I said no ♪♪ No ♪So I got better at film making,and some point I realized peoplewill pay me money for this.And that's a surprisingly big motivator.I had been working in film for awhile.It was just something Isaw scrolling on Facebook.It was this little videoof SpaceX doing a testwith what's called the Falcon 9 Dev-R.It's a rocket booster,but it's not going into space.It's just doing little hoptests down in Texas somewhere.I saw that, and I was like, oh, man.I need to be working for these people.I had to like prove in anon-go-back-to-college kind of waythat I was serious about it.I thought maybe I could tryto like land a model rocket.It's just a model rocket.Like how hard could it be?(drum roll music)And I still haven't been able to land it.Welcome to the rocket factory (laughs),which is my apartment,not a factory.There's a lot of propellantin one apartment,and it's all in a fireproof box.Don't worry, Mom.We've got our washer here,and a 3D printer number one.And the dryer here,and 3D printer number two.We can do both laundry and3D printing services here.Moving to Nashville was likethe most painful experience of my life.I had been in Boston for a few yearswatching all of my friends slowly leave.It was just a slow steadydownward hill of emotion.I had to move home with myparents for a few monthsjust 'cause like money's tough, man.I got some recognition for my workfrom like larger aerospace entities.- One potential future for our hobby.- One of them is SpaceX.And like Elon has like seen my tweets.They send a big Dragon spacecraftup to the space station,and then they tried to land their boosteron the drone ship out in the ocean.- And the Falcons have landed.- It was a realization of like uh-oh.Like they're really serious.There's been like severaldifferent instanceswhere it seems like adrop could've panned out.And then it just has neverfelt like the right time.Every single BPS launch has taken placebetween this piece ofwood and this launch pad.And at some point, I'd spent enough moneyso that I was like, all right,something has to change.So we're gonna have to do something else.So that this can be not cashflow negative.So for awhile I thought wecould sell the flight computersdirectly to model rocketry consumers.I made this in September of 2015.I have failed a whole lot.And I figure if I can saveother people some timetrying to do these similarthings, that would be great.We're in the black now.The business works.It makes money,but it did not for awhile.Most projects or tasks orjobs that look difficult are,but not if you've beendoing them for awhile.So like all of thesethings that are just so dryand boring to learn, they all become coolonce you know what you're working toward.You can learn most things on YouTube.It's kind of coming full circle though.Like I learned all of these thingsthrough YouTube tutorials.The YouTube tutorialer hasbecome the YouTube tutorialee.The goal has for a lot of theseflights is just to continuegetting it closer and closer to landing.I've done tests where itlands a little too high.I've done tests where it hits the groundbecause it's going too fast.Three,two,one.(rocket fires)The thing that like gets to me the mostis probably imposter syndrome.Like I don't feel likeI should be doing this.I don't feel like I'm goodenough to be doing this.Even like the people whoaccomplish a whole lot of stuff,I thinks they feel that sometimes too.And so it's really easy to,you know, if someone says like,hey, what's your next plan?What's the next big thing?Are you gonna go orbital, orare you gonna try to builda rocket that goes to space?And the answer is likeI have no idea if I can.What if this is it?Like what if I plateau here?And I don't think that's rational.But that's what gets to methe most is just thinkinglike I'm gonna hit a wall at some pointof I don't know.The flight computer,I still need to build.That's not that hard to do,but I just need to do it.(rocket fires)The launchpad computer.This is called Impulse.It's another custom design board.This computer controls all of the eventsthat happen on the launch pad.Upload.(computer beeps)There it is.Okay, cool.There are all of these different stagesthat the flight computershave to go throughin order to actually fly a rocket.I keep using the pronounwe to describe BPSboth because I do plan onscaling up to more peopleand because there's suchtremendous support on platformslike Patreon by people who are not justsupporting financially but like providingreally solid advice.It's extremely cheesyto be like, well, reallywe're more of a community,but that's what it feels like.(upbeat music)(computer beeps)(machines whirl)There we go.There's a little flight computer package.(rocket fires)So sometimes when you spend alot of money on rocket motors,just because of the way that money worksyou have a little bitless to spend on food.And the great place togo to get cheap foodis right here at the Food Lion.Now the Food Lion has food.It's a grocery store.But the thing about itis you're still paying.Hazelnut's objectively the best coffee,and no one carries it.And primarily you're paying in your hopeand your will to live.Got the coffee.Got the seltzer, the food line Brent.(cans thud)(laughs)Oh my god, I shouldn't have picked it up.(laughs)Oh, my poor little seltzers.We have eight boards to build today.And we'll go through the whole process.(gentle music)That's probably enough.(board clanks)(laughs)BPS produces a bunch ofsignal flight computersroughly every two months.There's like nothinglike this on the market.This is like spring of 2017.This is like September of 2017.October of 2017.Each one of these containsthree accelerometersand three gyroscopes.It is unbelievable that theycan fit so much technologyin such a small amount of space.If this thing right here doesn't work,you have the potential to slamyour rocket into the ground.(groans) All upside down again.This is like the wholeproduct lineup of BPS.This is an old launch padcomputer called Impulse.This is Impulse D2.So you start with the hard parts,and then when the easy work comes around,it's like even easier.This may not be technically correct,but it's how I'm gonna think about it.I feel like it's pretty close, man.(hoots)(computer beeps)(gentle music)You know, I'm not that nervous.It's a weird feeling.It's not nerves.Maybe it's just regular stress.(laughs)I don't know.I don't really know how I feel. (laughs)All right, these are myserial killer gloves.So it says remove before flight,and we've done just that.(drone buzzes)(dramatic music)(rocket fires)Ouch.That's no good.All right, let's land the drone.(drone buzzes)Go faster, little buddy.Yeah, that is no good.I think that's the worst landing yet.But the drone won't come down.There we go.I mean, the big thing islike why was it so unstable.That was really unstable.I do not know why.(sighs) I'm telling you, man.Anytime I bring anyoneelse to the launches,it doesn't go well.That's too bad.(computer beeps)I haven't had a flight that bad so far.So.Boy, that's too bad.I'm sorry it didn't really work.- No, that's okay.Well, I'm sorry it didn't really work.- I just don't.I think new rule, likeno one at the test site.Okay, so for Scout V-0.6,this is the sixth rocketthat I launched as partof the BPS program.I brought out likeI think like 15 people.Like my parents were there.My dog was there.A couple of friends anda bunch of videographers,and was like this is gonna be great.It's gonna be so good.And I couldn't evenget the motor to light.I used all of my igniters.I couldn't get the motor to light.And I just had to telleveryone like I'm sorry.It just won't launch.But for whatever reason,just when I bring people to launches,it doesn't go well.I wish that weren't the case.'Cause it's really helpfulto have other people there.But what are you gonna do?Fly more rockets untilthey don't fail so much.Yeah, you know what?Yeah.Something is really wrong there.Ooh.Boy.I bet I now how to fix that.Walk with me (laughs).So here's how you could do it.This is a very hot take.This is steaming hot take right now.You drop, rely on the gyrosfor like literally thefour seconds of free falland burn toward the ground,and like you can't drift veryfar in those four seconds,and I think that's how you would fix it.There, done.That's a good ending.And then we'll find out in like an hourwhen I look at all of thisthat I'm totally wrong.We'll see.That'll be a good thing.That's like real, too.That's like actually how you'd fix it.(laughs)(laughs)That's awesome.You can certainly see the trend over time.They just get crazier and they sort of,they start to drift down.But this is where the magic happens.This is where the magic happens.The thing that I can clearlysee is that the rocketeven though it's rotating back and forth,it's not rotating all theway to like 12 degreesas it thinks it is here.So much to work with here.It's really.It's so beautiful.I love it.In the mind of the rocket,it did a really good job.And in real life, it didn't.This is so exciting.So today's test,if you have to categorizeit as good or bad,it's gonna be bad.That's what it's gonna be.But I'm comfortablecalling this a failure,and I'm also comfortablebeing really happy with it.I've never been so excitedafter a rocket hasn't worked.I think it's good to talkabout when things don't work.It forces you to explain why they didn't.And often times it forces youto examine it a little bit closer.Got a little preachy atthe end there (laughs).I wanna see how far I can go.I just really love doing this stuff,and I wanna keep doing it.- And I can't help but noticethat you're pretty dressed up.- I am, yeah.I'm going to a winetasting with my girlfriend.I don't know, it's going well (laughs).You can't work all the time.You have to balance it out.So just enjoy your life.♪ You might think I'mcrazy from the outside ♪♪ And darling I'llassure you you're right ♪♪ Because these are just my thoughts ♪(indie rock music)♪ You're right becausethese are just my thoughts ♪♪ Hey ♪♪ Hey ♪♪ You're right becausethese are just my thoughts ♪
